Hands down, the most frustrating aspect of dating is never knowing what the other person expects from you at the end of the day. Let's be honest - how many times have you dropped the question: "So what are you looking for out of this?" on a first or second date (or even a third)? It's one of those taboo questions that you can only assume (or hope) the unspoken response matches yours. After all, the ultimate goal of dating is the prospect of forming a relationship of sorts. But, is that why this person's taken you out to dinner? Is that what they're really looking for, too?

I had a personal epiphany the other day. After enjoying months of casual dating, I find myself in the same position, back where I started: Unsatisfied. It's not the kinds of guys I date, or the people I pursue. Rather, I find that my problem is some sort of internal struggle: I have no idea what it is that I want.

Whether you're a guy that's been out of a serious relationship for years, a guy who just got out of a relationship, or a girl who's been single for most of her life, make sure that before you begin dating, you know what you want out of it. Being able to understand what it is that you're looking for not only saves you time and hassle, but it will spare somebody who may be ready to invest their heart, the trouble.
